We practiced using the formula for calculating speed. Then we reviewed our understanding of slowing down and changing direction as forms of acceleration. Next we reviewed the definition of velocity compared to speed. Then we practiced calculating force in Newtons. We reviewed force, gravity, and friction. Then we practiced determining balanced and unbalanced forces. Next we learned that acceleration is any change in the speed or direction of an object’s motion. We saw that objects slowing down and changing direction are accelerating. Then we practiced calculating speed.
Assignment: Add notes on acceleration to science notebook.
